The drone shots of you sitting under the only tree for hundreds of miles was absolutely amazing. Doubt that type of picture has been taken before. It should be put forward for an award. Loving this series. Stay safe Noraly 💖💖
I think the droneshot is an instant Itchy Boots fans' favourite! Quite memorable indeed and look how many commenters mentioned it. Amazing isn't it! :)
It's already been said by others, but that drone shot pulling back leaving you as a tiny speck in the vastness of the desert was beyond amazing. A real indication of how insignificant we are as individuals. Having said that, your adventures and exploration pushes you further forward on the significance scale than most human beings. Bravo, Noraly!!
It is ironic. In the middle of the desert you are absolutely alone in hundreds of kilometers and at the same time, tens of thousands of inhabitants from all over the planet are following you, hoping that you arrive safely at your next destination. You are awesome NORALY.
And more, you said, there is nothing, but what a miracle, you we're sitting in the shadow of the only tree a hundred miles around! ❤😊 Same experience I had, in Mali at the south end of Sahara and I realized, how worthy my body, my life, my health is in that surrounding. I was by feet, not by bike! But now I will repeat it with my Himalayan ... Joy and Peace for you all! 😊😎🌻
You deserve a RUclips cinematography award if ever something existed. You and that tree sharing that remote place on our precious planet. Very profound place. Keep it up!
Oh my word….. what an incredible landscape. You see photos but the drone footage was just phenomenal. One tree….. one bike……one mad woman…… and sand, a whole lot of sand. 😁 I absolutely LOVE your adventures Noraly. Thank you for taking us to areas of this incredible world that many of us would never get to see ❤️
As an old Saudi Desert hand I can understand what drives this Girl to do what she does. A spirit of adventure, the call of the wilds and a strong belief in one's ability to overcome the odds. Regards, Jim the Brit in NI UK
I am speechless indeed. To have the courage to do a solo trip on a desert like this requires an extraordinary person. That drone circle in the middle of the dessert while you having your break to eat was mesmerising. Indeed you are a very very unique human being Noraly and I thank you for doing these videos. Personally you enrich me beyond you can imagine. It is crazy you don't have more subscribers and also that so far no one of those big famous Doco channels have hired you. If someone is the perfect host for such a channel is you. Amazing. You are just amazing and I am writing this in Australia at 1:30am on Saturday because I always wait for your episode to be upload, watch it and then go to sleep happy.
If she was ever hired by a channel, I fear her videos would loose the personality and uniqueness that she puts into her videos, because she does them her way, unrestricted, and I feel that's a big part of what makes her videos so awesome. 🤔 not that anyone was asking in the first place. 🙂
She is for real, reality. Yes she has connections. No team is following her to help him like a tv show. I have watched Noraly for many seasons. She’s alone in her endeavors.
Incredible episode. The lunch time drone shot was spectacular. I also really enjoyed the way you chatted to us while you had your lunch. So relaxed and natural, as if all million+ of us were just one friend, sitting in the desert, having lunch with you and chatting.
I am now showing this to my wife who is also Moroccan and my daughter. We live in the U.S. This is amazing. Will share it with my entire family back in Morocco!! The COURAGE you have. The COURAGE. Amazing.
there is an archeological site somewhere around smara called "laghchiwat" where you can find drawings of Giraffes and ZEbras and also of the Amazigh alphabet "Tifinagh" dating back to thousands of years when that region was a savana. I don't understand why the ministry of tourism doesn't advertise the site more
@@paulwassenaar8351 thank you for the history lesson that we taught you to repeat but that does not change anything, it is the Moroccan Sahara and it is in MOROCCO
A few episodes ago someone commented that this season in Morocco is boring. Now I am wondering how boring his life must have been if he can’t enjoy and appreciate this amazing episode. Way to go Noraly……. Stay safe🥰
Not only are you an inspiration to all "adventure riders" But your "can do" attitude is truly an inspiration to women and girls everywhere. There are many men, myself included who wouldn't do what you do. Stay safe on your wonderful adventures. I think when you are my age you will live with no regrets. No " I wish I had "or "should have". Living life to the fullest. I am in awe.
As a Moroccan who looks and speaks like the people there, I doubt that I can do this ride alone. Your drone video under the tree is unforgettable; it's by far my favorite one. Respect!
Same for me. Born and raised in the anti Atlas Mountains. At some point a was scared for her! She is absolutely amazing! What a strong mindset of an adventurer. All respect
@@justinsmith4562 What if something goes wrong? What if your motorcycle breaks? What if a snake or a scorpion bites you or you get lost in that desert... All these thoughts come to mind when thinking of such trip. However, not for Noraly and that's why she is an inspiration!
@@justinsmith4562 If you take the paved road from Esmara to Dakhla, you will encounter a police checkpoint every 50 km. They will register your name and inform the next police checkpoint for your safety. Noraly took the most dangerous military road and ignore all the checkpoints. To be honest, I was also scared for Noraly's life because this is a disputed area full of hidden mines and without any phone signal...
@@adamkomot179 I have took that route and it is not true. There is a checkpoint every 100 km or more and definitely not 50km and to be honest the dispute would not cause any physical harm as she mentioned there is a huge wall which stands to protect anyone passing on the other side of it
me too, I'm also Moroccan and I would love to ride through the desert in the south of morocco, but I would not dare to cross the desert alone. So many thing that could wrong you run out of fuel, you get stuck in sand, or your motorcycle breaks, anything bad happens and if there is no phone network in the area, that's a death sentence, just a matter of days until you run out of water.
That drone shot of you having lunch under the only tree within sight in any direction is fabulous!You are unbelievably courageous. Best wishes from Tunkhannock, Pennsylvania.😊
There should be a commemorative plaque on that lone tree with the inscription, "Itchy Boots dined alone in the shade of this tree in March 2023." An unbelievable journey made believable by an intrepid young woman traveling alone with her trusty bike, Alaska. Thank you once again for taking us along.
I am blown away by how well Noraly captured the scenes in a desolate area. Her words were few during rest breaks, but characterized the feeling of what its like to be there. Call me goofy but I wish I could have been there to experience it. Really appreciate the little details she provides like fuel management, how the rear tank works, the capacity of the fuel bag, the type of food she brought, water supply, etc. The drone footage is absolutely AWE-INSPIRING. In its own way, the area is as amazing to see as the Andes. Also appreciated her detailed update at beginning on the area conditions and hazards. Thank you so much Noraly. Peace ❤❤
I love that she shows me parts of the world I will never travel to or see. Morocco (more rock, oh!) is beautiful especially near the Togo border. I had no idea it was so stunning!
I am Moroccan and I’m happy because you visit my country and my city Dakhla we have a beautiful beach and a cool weather there ,welcome to Moroccan Sahara 🇲🇦
A moroccan American here who's learning about my birth country more in your videos! Super quality RUclipsr!! and thank you for visiting and showing the Beautiful peaceful morocco 🇲🇦
one desert, one women, one bike, one drone, one tree. This is why we love thee. You go girl, live your dreams ,we'll live them with ya. Much love from New york
I think this episode reaally showcased Noraly's confidence in "Alaska". To set out across the desert isolation took a good amount of trust in her equipment.
She has an InReach so she can call for help. It is a satellite device. You pay a monthly service and when you hit the button it let's them know you need help and sends your GPS coordinates. They will also text you through it asking about the issue and giving you information. Using it you are dealing with inreach's center and they call local (to you) authorities who do the rescue. I wonder who they would call in Morocco?
Yes, one has to respect honda! Right from the CG engine that became the template for virtually all low displacement air cooled bikes in the third world....made in China now! .....to Alaska now! Reliability in its true definition.
A lone tree in a vast landscape provides Noraly with shelter - incredible, breathtaking drone footage! The deceptive allure of a desert mirage like water on the horizon is truly a bizarre experience, so mesmerizing too! I witnessed that for several days whilst traversing the Sahara in Sudan decades ago. Mirages play deceptive mind tricks! Noraly, your levels of self awareness, confidence and courage to undertake this trip - 600kms of desert - all by yourself is remarkable and awe-inspiring. Kudos. You're an absolute legend!!!
Noraly is always spinning the positive. Love that! "Oh look, a tree! A pile of rocks!" The very absence of anything is quite something. Thanks Itchy Boots for always bringing great content even when you have to make something out of literally nothing. Morocco, you are an interestingly beautiful place.
I am American and am a person who requires a lot of alone time but you take it to extremes beyond my comprehension! I admire your bravery and determination!
I am a Malaysian. My ancestors on my mother’s side are from Morocco. I have always wanted to visit Morocco and now after another amazing ‘tour’ with Noraly , I must go. In Sya Allah.
You're an inspiration now..I hope you're able to video some of your adventures and tell your story. I'm so happy you're in a better place right now. Know you're not alone, depression is no joke. I get it!
Just to let you know that your comment did not get lost! Good luck with your plan and some day you will enjoy life again! As you will find out - there are lots of nice people out there. Often we only realize this, once we need help. All the very best from Europe!
You know you don't need to complete or achieve great things to be happy. Just do what you like, even if life can get boring or meaningless sometimes that doesn't matter. You can live a "boring" life and live happy, for this you only need to be content with what you have and enjoy the moment.
You're not alone my friend, many of us have been going through something very similar. Yes, Noraly is therapy for me too. She has such an innocent and ever eager to explore attitude, it's infectious.
I’ve said before and I’ll say it again, WOW I’m so jealous. Noraly’s multitasking is wonderful, the camera work, commentary and all the other skills make her so special.
I am a Moroccan citizen and I actually envy you while enjoying that stunning scenery.I really cherish your determination and bravery . Keep that everlasting beautiful smile of yours and wish you a safe ride.
When I saw your drone shots when you have been sitting alone had your food it was like desert lioness sitting like majestic and it was awesome and unbelievable drone shots almost like Hollywood movies seen . spectacular view from the sky but that location is terrific and terrible to watch.
My mom and her parents came to the USA to live from Friesland back in the day on a ship 🚢. And back then that was considered a BIG accomplishment 😊 Now seeing a Dutch girl traveling the world at such a young age is beyond cool. Her parents have to be proud to see their daughter doing more in life than 99% of most people never see their own country. Thanks for taking us along on your journeys And a BIG shout out to her parents for raising such a good human being. Because she has a big impact on the world 🌎 when interacting with others. Proud to be Dutch
@@martinglasser6025 Noraly, saw way before her first bike travel on youtube, so much countries😎 Globe traveling is in her DNA. And she has way more courage, then many many men. For sure.😂. And mid 30's? That is the bloom of life man.
I'm Moroccan and I'm so proud of you, cause to do a solo trip in the middle of nowhere is not easy for everyone but you are a brave and extraordinairy woman. Welcome to Visite me at Marrakech in your way back😍
Hi Noraly...I remember when you first arrived in the USA (to San Diego) from Mexico on your way up to Alaska...I live in San Diego & I had assumed that you would just take a scenic drive up the coast along Pacific Coast Highway for at least maybe the trip up to Los Angeles...instead, after spending about a week here in San Diego getting Alaska serviced, you immediately headed west out deep into the Anza Borrego Desert in the late summer, when it was still exceedingly hot out there, all by yourself (something not too many local people, who know the very well, would ever venture to do)...&, now here you are in North Africa, all alone in the middle of an even much deeper, almost completely barren desert 🏜...you really are amazingly courageous woman!
As someone who has traveled in the deep desert I think this video captures the experiance magnificently. And as someone who has watched the entire Itchy Boots catalog I beleive this episode really shows what Noraly is all about. Although she loves her interactions with the people she meets her joy when experiancing the great wild wide open spaces seems to resonate to her very core. As Carly Simon said, "Nobody does it better."
The only reason I can watch some of these incredible videos is the fact that if I’m seeing it, you must have arrived safely at your destination. What you are doing is incredible and being able to share it is an honor. Stay safe. Thank you for the privilege of being a part of your journey.
Same thoughts with a lot of the YT’ers i follow. The Paramotoring/base jumping guys especially - and they have a death in the community every year it seems. 😬 check out Tucker Gott Vid means they made it to civilization/the ground and survived the trip
Super remote spots like deserts are incredible for their beauty and solitude. It takes a lot of careful planning and common sense as well as skill and perseverance, but us viewers all know Noraly has plenty of these qualities - and more!!
I do realize that Itchy won’t ever see this message but, maybe if enough people wish her a very happy birthday today, she might see some of the well wishes! Happy birthday young lady and hope you have a wonderful and safe adventure this season!! 🎂🎈🎉
Watching you just sit under a tree and eat your lunch in the middle of the desert shows that you are exude confidence and courage. I am more impressed every year.
Dans le désert, Saint-Exupéry a rencontré le petit prince. Noraly, sous le seul arbre dans le désert, à des centaines de kilomètres de toutes civilisations, elle a fait la découverte d'une grande solitude 🤔Nous qui la suivons depuis longtemps, on a fait la connaissance de la petite princesse!! 🤩
I suppose that it was no longer the LONELIEST tree anymore having SOMEONE spent, the time even for a MOMENT and to appreciate her VALUE of existence......
My heart has been skipping beats all through this one. That moment where Noraly sits under that lonely little tree while her drone flies off into the wide blue yonder was so poignant. I loved her little chat out there in the middle of nowhere-- jusy Noraly, Alaska, and that brave little tree!! Dramatic!!
I’m a retired news editor living a short walk from the Atlantic Ocean in coastal NJ, and thankfully, even as I age, my curiosity remains as insatiable as ever. Thank you, Noraly, for taking me on this ride with you and showing me the beauty of so many cultures and lands.
Thank you Noraly for taking us with you over this vast and incredible Moroccan desert. To me, the real hero of this episode was that true and trusted friend, "Alaska" which, despite losing a chain guard, just kept on going when to do otherwise would have been disastrous!
Not going to lie, I got chills seeing those drone shots of you sitting there eating and the vast emptiness of where you're at. Absolutely incredible. Stay safe!
Incredible scene with the drone. 1 solitary tree and you shading with Alaska. I always look forward to watching your video. Morocco looks amazing. Stay safe.
OH, WOW - This is an adventure of mega proportions. Traveling such great distances with no infrastructure but only relying on what you are carrying with you it is epic!!! Finding the one and only little tree in the desert to stop to have a rest and little something to eat, incredible! Then reaching a town where there is no room for our Itchy Boots, unimaginable! Noraly you had my respect before but now I am in awe of you and your spirit of adventure. GO ITCHY BOOTS, GO ... 🏍🏍🏍
Bonjour Noraly, Je tenais à vous remercier pour la qualité de votre contenu sur le Maroc. En tant que Marocain, j'ai été étonné de voir comment vous avez réussi à capturer la beauté et la diversité de mon pays d'une manière que je n'avais jamais vue auparavant. Vos vidéos sont incroyables et m'ont donné une nouvelle perspective sur mon propre pays. Je suis heureux de voir que vous avez apprécié votre voyage au Maroc et que vous avez pu partager votre expérience avec nous. Vos vidéos sont non seulement divertissantes, mais aussi éducatives, et j'ai beaucoup appris sur mon propre pays grâce à vous. Je vous remercie pour votre contribution à la promotion de la culture marocaine et pour la diffusion de la paix à travers vos vidéos. Vous êtes un véritable ambassadeur du Maroc dans le monde entier. Encore une fois, merci beaucoup et continuez votre excellent travail. Cordialement,
Amazing ride, Noraly and so glad you made it safely through the danger zone. The shot of you sitting under the lonely little tree with Alaska beside you was a dream shot for an amateur photog like me, and would make a perfect magazine cover. That one picture speaks volumes. Thanks and congrats for this episode, and stay safe. Dan ✌️🏍🇨🇦
Within Morocco there are no dangerous areas, but the only danger is its deepening in the desert away from the small towns and the roads linking them, especially since she travels alone and if her bike breaks down, it will take time to find it.
The drone shot in which you were sitting under a tree and there was not a single tree except that one and the desert .....gave me goosebumps....respect and love from India.
@@markhendriks6445 i am following her from the beginning of the last season in which she ended her journey in alaska. But i saw her videos of India too..which i am glad 🤗
I've watched every episode from Season 1 and I'm 74 never ridden on a bike - Noraly is the master entertainer, videographer, youtuber, editor and she's got guts - There is no way in one lifetime that I could possibly see everything this planet has to show but I'm able to sit back at my age to watch this amazing, hot dutch woman take me with her for 30 minutes every two days
As everyone is saying in their own way, your videography skills and willingness to go beyond others, are really top notch and totally unique. You're so naturally friendly that everyone treats you nicely, I hope.
The phenomenon when you see water in the desert that isn't there is called a mirage (in Indonesia we call it "fatamorgana". It's kind of a reflection caused by layers of air with the temperature difference. The drone footage is incredibly spectacular. It's a real treat for us Thanks Stay safe Noraly 🙏
Poetic shot right there with you sitting on your small spot on the desert under the shade of a lone tree and your bike parked nearby. You are just no longer riding and telling stories. You are conquering the world. More power Noraly!
I only found your channel a couple of weeks ago. It has become one of my all time favorites. Can't hardly wait to see the next leg. Noraly is a young woman I only wish more could be like her. Be safe. Till next time...
I’ve followed you for a while and cant honestly thank you enough for your channel. I have a 4 year old daughter and 1 year old son and plan to show them all your videos in the hope it inspires them as much as you have me.
I love the desert music with the drone video of you riding across the endless sand. Very effective in showing how desolate the area is. And then when you were resting and eating, when the drone went way out and you were just a spec in the sand - wow! And how you found that one single tree in the middle of nowhere to park under is remarkable. Perhaps you encountered a mirage where you thought it was water. Loved the camels!
I am extremely fascinated by how passionate you are about your journey through the Sahara in Morocco ❤ I am exploring amy own country through your eyes, a part of Morocco that I did not imagine myself discovering in the most exciting way. I watched every single video you made and did not want any of them to end ❤
Absolutely stunning desert scenery from the drone. I have travelled the equivalent of six times round the world on a motorcycle and thought I had seen some sights but that just blew me away. Much respect Noraly 👌
Wow sitting under the only tree in the middle of nowhere is the final image that you are the role model for every adventure rider! Everyone who believes that women can't do things like this should watch your videos! Thank you for all these great pictures with excellent choice of music.
Being a Moroccan, I have recently been captivated by your videos. I am always eager to watch your next vlog as it never fails to amaze me. Seeing our country through your perspective is a unique experience that I have never encountered before. Watching you unwind under a tree, taking a break like a lioness after a long day of hunting, is truly fascinating. I wish you continued success on your journey and many more adventures to come. Warm Moroccan greetings to you 🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦
It's difficult to capture the superlatives that appropriately reflect the courage, determination, and sense of adventure embodied in one very remarkable Dutch woman.
Oh what a day! I so love your humor and stamina in the middle of absolutely no where. The one tree in the middle made for gorgeous drone footage. The mirage effect is so deceiving isn’t it? Loved this entire day!
You're a brave soul Noraly. 18:01 Favorite shot, you found the only tree for miles. That tree has been waiting for you for 32-years Thank you for the post.
It takes a lot if guts and courage to get deeply into a far desert like this, all by yourself. Your positive attitude towards herculean challenges are truly inspirational. You are a unstoppable Trooper.
Noraly you have given us so many beautiful drone shots over spectacular terrain but I must say your drone footage of you, Alaska and that sole tree in the desert was in my opinion the most dramatic thus far! AWESOME Gracias!!
I can’t say it enough: “your positive attitude and great personality and lovely personality is truly addictive” … lovely channel and videos. Enjoy your trip … ❤ the world needs more people like you!
That drone shot, with you sitting under the only tree for miles around - was simply amazing.
The happiest that little lonely tree has been in a while. Company, for just a little bit.
Yes specially with that music too
@@issamrami My thoughts exactly!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
@@kengreenfield-nman yeah like a movie, it gives you that feeling you want live in that time like old time
@@SteveSmith88 It seems only fair to leave some refuse liquid for that lone tree. I can't imagine a better place to take a break.
I am Moroccan and feel that you're showing me my country in a way that I had never seen or even imagined it. Thank you very much. Peace.
Same here ✌️🇲🇦

Make that HUNDREDS of thousands, albeit belatedly given the delay between when she records and publishes her content.
You deserve a RUclips cinematography award if ever something existed. You and that tree sharing that remote place on our precious planet. Very profound place. Keep it up!
A shorty award used to be for utubers. Hopefully it's still a thing and Noraly wins one.
And doing it all alone...what an absolute legend
I am Iranian, i see your courage, self confidence, diligence, persistence (and pardon me :some craziness) which is impressive, women...life...freedom.

That's definitely the best scene in the whole video, but i felt so uneasy imagining myself there alone !! Scary yet breathtaking !
really impressive. An adventurer in the midle of the desert... some archetypal image.
The drone shot of Noraly under that lone tree was reminiscent of the scene in Lawrence of Arabia when they were crossing the Devil's Anvil...
That were my thoughts too. Unbelievable landscape and scene. I got goosebumps seeing this. And I thought mh… Noraly, you are a little bit crazy 😉.

Great shot indeed
Yeah, Noraly found the loneliest tree in the desert and gave it some company.
I was gonig to say that. Tottaly agree with you in this one. She's just awesome!! OMG!
The support team and vehicles must be way behind or way in front because I can't spot them.

An unbelievable journey made believable by an intrepid young woman traveling alone with her trusty bike, Alaska. Thank you once again for taking us along.
Same!!! That was magnificent actually when she captured it with her drone like how remarkable!
I am blown away by how well Noraly captured the scenes in a desolate area. Her words were few during rest breaks, but characterized the feeling of what its like to be there. Call me goofy but I wish I could have been there to experience it. Really appreciate the little details she provides like fuel management, how the rear tank works, the capacity of the fuel bag, the type of food she brought, water supply, etc. The drone footage is absolutely AWE-INSPIRING. In its own way, the area is as amazing to see as the Andes. Also appreciated her detailed update at beginning on the area conditions and hazards. Thank you so much Noraly. Peace ❤❤
Yes totally agree 🙏🏻
Yes, you said what I feel as well.
Yes ! Quite !
Yes, excellent comments / observations and I agree.
She's the best...
Noraly is an amazing world ambassador. The world would be at peace if more people were like her.
I love that she shows me parts of the world I will never travel to or see. Morocco (more rock, oh!) is beautiful especially near the Togo border. I had no idea it was so stunning!
Agree! But, I hope you are one day able. I sure hope to! @@LEB73323

one desert, one women, one bike, one drone, one tree. This is why we love thee. You go girl, live your dreams ,we'll live them with ya. Much love from New york
My goodness, that One Tree in the middle of the desert ...!!! What an aerial view ... Thank you, thank you ...!!!
I think this episode reaally showcased Noraly's confidence in "Alaska". To set out across the desert isolation took a good amount of trust in her equipment.
Pity about the chain guard going walk about, though. Perhaps larger washers on the bolts might have spread the stress.
She's been the best commercial for Honda ever, but gets nothing for it.
She has an InReach so she can call for help. It is a satellite device. You pay a monthly service and when you hit the button it let's them know you need help and sends your GPS coordinates. They will also text you through it asking about the issue and giving you information. Using it you are dealing with inreach's center and they call local (to you) authorities who do the rescue. I wonder who they would call in Morocco?
Proper preparation in redundancy and planning of a safe route...🤔✌️🙏☝️☯️
Yes, one has to respect honda! Right from the CG engine that became the template for virtually all low displacement air cooled bikes in the third world....made in China now! .....to Alaska now! Reliability in its true definition.
A lone tree in a vast landscape provides Noraly with shelter - incredible, breathtaking drone footage! The deceptive allure of a desert mirage like water on the horizon is truly a bizarre experience, so mesmerizing too! I witnessed that for several days whilst traversing the Sahara in Sudan decades ago. Mirages play deceptive mind tricks!
Noraly, your levels of self awareness, confidence and courage to undertake this trip - 600kms of desert - all by yourself is remarkable and awe-inspiring. Kudos. You're an absolute legend!!!
The shot of the entire desert and the one lone tree with the drone was absolutely incredible! Noraly you are one brave bad ass!
I loved that shot. Pure art.
"This is really out there"....and then she sends the drone up from the lone tree....priceless, and masterful work....all by her bad self. Amazing.
When she stoped near to the tree, in the midle of desert...feels like a peaceful moment. Astonishing drone scene by the way! Regards from Brazil
Noraly is always spinning the positive. Love that! "Oh look, a tree! A pile of rocks!" The very absence of anything is quite something. Thanks Itchy Boots for always bringing great content even when you have to make something out of literally nothing. Morocco, you are an interestingly beautiful place.
Waaaaaarrrrrr Eagle!!
I am American and am a person who requires a lot of alone time but you take it to extremes beyond my comprehension! I admire your bravery and determination!
Money is the biggest motivation
@@justinsmith4562 Just look how many sponsors are on the videos

You will be more than welcome

keep going man just dont stop
You're an inspiration now..I hope you're able to video some of your adventures and tell your story. I'm so happy you're in a better place right now. Know you're not alone, depression is no joke. I get it!
Just to let you know that your comment did not get lost! Good luck with your plan and some day you will enjoy life again! As you will find out - there are lots of nice people out there. Often we only realize this, once we need help. All the very best from Europe!
You know you don't need to complete or achieve great things to be happy.
Just do what you like, even if life can get boring or meaningless sometimes that doesn't matter.
You can live a "boring" life and live happy, for this you only need to be content with what you have and enjoy the moment.
You're not alone my friend, many of us have been going through something very similar. Yes, Noraly is therapy for me too.
She has such an innocent and ever eager to explore attitude, it's infectious.
I’ve said before and I’ll say it again, WOW I’m so jealous. Noraly’s multitasking is wonderful, the camera work, commentary and all the other skills make her so special.
I am a Moroccan citizen and I actually envy you while enjoying that stunning scenery.I really cherish your determination and bravery .
Keep that everlasting beautiful smile of yours and wish you a safe ride.
Noraly has an endless amount of stamina and is always so positive. The camerawork and especially the drone footage is of an incredible standard.
When I saw your drone shots when you have been sitting alone had your food it was like desert lioness sitting like majestic and it was awesome and unbelievable drone shots almost like Hollywood movies seen . spectacular view from the sky but that location is terrific and terrible to watch.
My mom and her parents came to the USA to live from Friesland back in the day on a ship 🚢. And back then that was considered a BIG accomplishment 😊
Now seeing a Dutch girl traveling the world at such a young age is beyond cool.
Her parents have to be proud to see their daughter doing more in life than 99% of most people never see their own country.
Thanks for taking us along on your journeys
And a BIG shout out to her parents for raising such a good human being. Because she has a big impact on the world 🌎 when interacting with others.
Proud to be Dutch
Nice. Thanks
Nice , but her age is mid30s, not just a go to l!
@@martinglasser6025 Well my wife and I are in our 40s and 30 seems young to us and to a 80yr old she is a spring chicken 🐔 yet
@@martinglasser6025 Noraly, saw way before her first bike travel on youtube, so much countries😎 Globe traveling is in her DNA. And she has way more courage, then many many men. For sure.😂. And mid 30's? That is the bloom of life man.
I follow two RUclips series. This one. Plus "Friesian Horses" also managed by a Dutch woman.
I'm Moroccan and I'm so proud of you, cause to do a solo trip in the middle of nowhere is not easy for everyone but you are a brave and extraordinairy woman. Welcome to Visite me at Marrakech in your way back😍
Hi Noraly...I remember when you first arrived in the USA (to San Diego) from Mexico on your way up to Alaska...I live in San Diego & I had assumed that you would just take a scenic drive up the coast along Pacific Coast Highway for at least maybe the trip up to Los Angeles...instead, after spending about a week here in San Diego getting Alaska serviced, you immediately headed west out deep into the Anza Borrego Desert in the late summer, when it was still exceedingly hot out there, all by yourself (something not too many local people, who know the very well, would ever venture to do)...&, now here you are in North Africa, all alone in the middle of an even much deeper, almost completely barren desert 🏜...you really are amazingly courageous woman!
As someone who has traveled in the deep desert I think this video captures the experiance magnificently. And as someone who has watched the entire Itchy Boots catalog I beleive this episode really shows what Noraly is all about. Although she loves her interactions with the people she meets her joy when experiancing the great wild wide open spaces seems to resonate to her very core. As Carly Simon said, "Nobody does it better."
The only reason I can watch some of these incredible videos is the fact that if I’m seeing it, you must have arrived safely at your destination. What you are doing is incredible and being able to share it is an honor. Stay safe. Thank you for the privilege of being a part of your journey.
Same thoughts with a lot of the YT’ers i follow. The Paramotoring/base jumping guys especially - and they have a death in the community every year it seems. 😬 check out Tucker Gott
Vid means they made it to civilization/the ground and survived the trip
That is often how I feel too.
Thats how I feel too, if she is posting a video, she made it! Be safe girl!
I also concur with everyone else here.
Super remote spots like deserts are incredible for their beauty and solitude.
It takes a lot of careful planning and common sense as well as skill and perseverance, but us viewers all know Noraly has plenty of these qualities - and more!!
I do realize that Itchy won’t ever see this message but, maybe if enough people wish her a very happy birthday today, she might see some of the well wishes! Happy birthday young lady and hope you have a wonderful and safe adventure this season!! 🎂🎈🎉
Thanks but it’s not my birthday today 😂
@@ItchyBoots You can now confidently say without hesitation that you’ve been ITMOFN…In The Middle Of F&@$!?g Nowhere!!! 😂😂😂
I'm an old man in my 70's, and I've done some stuff in my life. But I'm in absolute awe of this womans' courage.
One desert, one tree, one motorcycle and one hell of a women.
And one pot of duo penotti 🙂 .
Great footage as always.
Keep riding and keep save.
Watching you just sit under a tree and eat your lunch in the middle of the desert shows that you are exude confidence and courage. I am more impressed every year.
Hear hear. I also found your way of eating dates and 'duo penotti' funny.
I came across your channel by accident and I'm staying. You are amazing, a real brave heart. Greetings from Poland.
Dans le désert, Saint-Exupéry a rencontré le petit prince. Noraly, sous le seul arbre dans le désert, à des centaines de kilomètres de toutes civilisations, elle a fait la découverte d'une grande solitude 🤔Nous qui la suivons depuis longtemps, on a fait la connaissance de la petite princesse!! 🤩
that tree is a miracle
ouiiiii bien vu,moi je stresse pour cet arbre miracle j'aurai pu l'arroser avec mes reserves d'eau :)
Very true. Our little princess!
A chacun son baobab !
My thoughts exactly!
Noraly found the lonliest tree in the world, and kept it company for a little while.
I suppose that it was no longer the LONELIEST tree anymore having SOMEONE spent, the time even for a MOMENT and to appreciate her VALUE of existence......
My heart has been skipping beats all through this one. That moment where Noraly sits under that lonely little tree while her drone flies off into the wide blue yonder was so poignant. I loved her little chat out there in the middle of nowhere-- jusy Noraly, Alaska, and that brave little tree!! Dramatic!!
I’m a retired news editor living a short walk from the Atlantic Ocean in coastal NJ, and thankfully, even as I age, my curiosity remains as insatiable as ever. Thank you, Noraly, for taking me on this ride with you and showing me the beauty of so many cultures and lands.
Thank you Noraly for taking us with you over this vast and incredible Moroccan desert. To me, the real hero of this episode was that true and trusted friend, "Alaska" which, despite losing a chain guard, just kept on going when to do otherwise would have been disastrous!
Not going to lie, I got chills seeing those drone shots of you sitting there eating and the vast emptiness of where you're at. Absolutely incredible. Stay safe!
Incredible scene with the drone. 1 solitary tree and you shading with Alaska. I always look forward to watching your video. Morocco looks amazing. Stay safe.
Filmography through the desert is absolutely EPIC!!!
OH, WOW - This is an adventure of mega proportions. Traveling such great distances with no infrastructure but only relying on what you are carrying with you it is epic!!! Finding the one and only little tree in the desert to stop to have a rest and little something to eat, incredible! Then reaching a town where there is no room for our Itchy Boots, unimaginable! Noraly you had my respect before but now I am in awe of you and your spirit of adventure. GO ITCHY BOOTS, GO ... 🏍🏍🏍
These drone's views are spectacular - the very definition of "in the middle of nowhere"
and Norally became a speck of dust far from the civilized world
The isolated tree …. Drone shot …. Simply one the best cinematic moment 🙏😊🙏
Bonjour Noraly,
Je tenais à vous remercier pour la qualité de votre contenu sur le Maroc. En tant que Marocain, j'ai été étonné de voir comment vous avez réussi à capturer la beauté et la diversité de mon pays d'une manière que je n'avais jamais vue auparavant. Vos vidéos sont incroyables et m'ont donné une nouvelle perspective sur mon propre pays.
Je suis heureux de voir que vous avez apprécié votre voyage au Maroc et que vous avez pu partager votre expérience avec nous. Vos vidéos sont non seulement divertissantes, mais aussi éducatives, et j'ai beaucoup appris sur mon propre pays grâce à vous.
Je vous remercie pour votre contribution à la promotion de la culture marocaine et pour la diffusion de la paix à travers vos vidéos. Vous êtes un véritable ambassadeur du Maroc dans le monde entier.
Encore une fois, merci beaucoup et continuez votre excellent travail.
Cordialement,
Noraly, Alaska, and a tree. Just awesome.
Amazing ride, Noraly and so glad you made it safely through the danger zone. The shot of you sitting under the lonely little tree with Alaska beside you was a dream shot for an amateur photog like me, and would make a perfect magazine cover. That one picture speaks volumes. Thanks and congrats for this episode, and stay safe. Dan ✌️🏍🇨🇦
Within Morocco there are no dangerous areas, but the only danger is its deepening in the desert away from the small towns and the roads linking them, especially since she travels alone and if her bike breaks down, it will take time to find it.
One and a half million subscribers living vicariously through your adventure: Noraly vs Mother Nature. Simply captivating, thank you!
Noraly..you are making history..You are an inspiration to a lot of people..thank you for sharing your adventures with the world…💕💐
Noraly deserves a oscar in best editing & documentary!!
The drone shot in which you were sitting under a tree and there was not a single tree except that one and the desert .....gave me goosebumps....respect and love from India.
just out of curiosity friend have you been along since her start in Delhi?
@@markhendriks6445 i am following her from the beginning of the last season in which she ended her journey in alaska. But i saw her videos of India too..which i am glad 🤗
@@kamaleshbarman286 thanks for taking the time and making the effort of answering me
Noraly, that drone shot of you alone under a single tree in a never ending ocean of sand is absolutely extraordinary. Wonderful.
I just love Morocco so much, the diversity in all aspects of the country is stunning!
I've watched every episode from Season 1 and I'm 74 never ridden on a bike - Noraly is the master entertainer, videographer, youtuber, editor and she's got guts - There is no way in one lifetime that I could possibly see everything this planet has to show but I'm able to sit back at my age to watch this amazing, hot dutch woman take me with her for 30 minutes every two days
This has reminded me never to take trees for granted again 🌴🌳🎋
Époustouflant. Seule face à l'immensité...on est pas grand chose finalement. MERCI Noraly pour cette balade dans le désert.Roule en paix ❤
As everyone is saying in their own way, your videography skills and willingness to go beyond others, are really top notch and totally unique.
You're so naturally friendly that everyone treats you nicely, I hope.
What an incredible image, of Noraly sitting under a single tree amidst a desert of sand and sky!
The phenomenon when you see water in the desert that isn't there is called a mirage (in Indonesia we call it "fatamorgana". It's kind of a reflection caused by layers of air with the temperature difference.
The drone footage is incredibly spectacular. It's a real treat for us
Thanks
Stay safe Noraly 🙏
Poetic shot right there with you sitting on your small spot on the desert under the shade of a lone tree and your bike parked nearby. You are just no longer riding and telling stories. You are conquering the world. More power Noraly!
I only found your channel a couple of weeks ago. It has become one of my all time favorites. Can't hardly wait to see the next leg. Noraly is a young woman I only wish more could be like her. Be safe. Till next time...
I’ve followed you for a while and cant honestly thank you enough for your channel. I have a 4 year old daughter and 1 year old son and plan to show them all your videos in the hope it inspires them as much as you have me.
I love the desert music with the drone video of you riding across the endless sand. Very effective in showing how desolate the area is. And then when you were resting and eating, when the drone went way out and you were just a spec in the sand - wow! And how you found that one single tree in the middle of nowhere to park under is remarkable. Perhaps you encountered a mirage where you thought it was water. Loved the camels!
I am extremely fascinated by how passionate you are about your journey through the Sahara in Morocco ❤ I am exploring amy own country through your eyes, a part of Morocco that I did not imagine myself discovering in the most exciting way. I watched every single video you made and did not want any of them to end ❤
The aerial view of the drone where it shows you in the only small tree within the immense solitude of the desert pierced my head, incredible !!!! 😯😯
I would like to know if she has a crew or shes filming herself
She films herself buddy
Absolutely stunning desert scenery from the drone.
I have travelled the equivalent of six times round the world on a motorcycle and thought I had seen some sights but that just blew me away.
Much respect Noraly 👌
Well, that was different. It was 600 km of sand and Noraly DIDN’T get stuck….. Well done Itchy Boots. You inspire us all.
Starting to see water in the desert, classic hallucinations 😂
Take care sweet Noraly. Love from Sweden ❤️ 🇸🇪
It's called mirage

I feel like I'm watching a show on Discovery with a multi million dollar budget. Quality of everything is amazing.
Wow sitting under the only tree in the middle of nowhere is the final image that you are the role model for every adventure rider! Everyone who believes that women can't do things like this should watch your videos! Thank you for all these great pictures with excellent choice of music.
Being a Moroccan, I have recently been captivated by your videos. I am always eager to watch your next vlog as it never fails to amaze me. Seeing our country through your perspective is a unique experience that I have never encountered before. Watching you unwind under a tree, taking a break like a lioness after a long day of hunting, is truly fascinating. I wish you continued success on your journey and many more adventures to come.

Noraly, you are simply the BEST in every respect! From South Africa.
Well said, @Frank Gavin
Right??? We now have to create new words!!!
She's keeps going no matter what challenges coming ahead,
and showing that even small motorbikes are capable of big things. 😎
Oh what a day! I so love your humor and stamina in the middle of absolutely no where. The one tree in the middle made for gorgeous drone footage. The mirage effect is so deceiving isn’t it? Loved this entire day!
@18:07 a single tree standing alone in all that vast bareness is such a sight to behold.
You're a brave soul Noraly.
18:01 Favorite shot, you found the only tree for miles.
That tree has been waiting for you for 32-years
Thank you for the post.
It takes a lot if guts and courage to get deeply into a far desert like this, all by yourself. Your positive attitude towards herculean challenges are truly inspirational. You are a unstoppable Trooper.
❤Itchy Boots. Your amazing! I rarely leave my own state. Thank you for taking us on adventures we will never be able to take ourselves.
Noraly you have given us so many beautiful drone shots over spectacular terrain but I must say your drone footage of you, Alaska and that sole tree in the desert was in my opinion the most dramatic thus far! AWESOME Gracias!!
